Rogers Sportsnet ONE (Sportsnet Vancouver Hockey) games can be seen in BC & Yukon only, unless a person outside of the Canucks broadcast territory (BC/Yukon) subscribe to NHL Centre Ice.

I LIVE OUTSIDE OF BC/YUKON. WHY ARE CANUCKS GAMES BLACKED OUT IN MY AREA?

Broadcast territories are set by the NHL, not the individual teams. These territories are in place to ensure teams have the ability to sell the broadcast rights to their games, without competition from other team’s broadcasts in their market.

HOW CAN I WATCH CANUCKS GAMES OUTSIDE OF BC/YUKON?

Aside from the 24 games carried Nationally, viewers outside the Canucks territory (BC/Yukon) would need to subscribe to the NHL Centre Ice package. NHLCI is designed to serve those fans living outside a team’s territory. In other words, if you live in Calgary but want to watch Canucks, Detroit, Anaheim games, you would need NHLCI. NHLCI would NOT provide you additional Calgary games. It only provides out of market games.

HOW CAN I WATCH CANUCKS GAMES ON LINE?

Games being carried on CBC, can be viewed at cbc.ca. Unfortunately, games being carried by Sportsnet Pacific and Sportsnet ONE, will are not available to be viewed on canucks.com this season.

WHAT IS SPORTSNET ONE?

Rogers Sportsnet ONE is a national channel that has the ability to regionalize when airing games that require them to do so. In other words, they are able to air Blue Jays (MLB) games Nationally as they are National rightsholders with MLB.

However, on a night when they are airing a Canucks game, they must adhere to the broadcast territory restrictions imposed by the NHL and broadcast only into BC & Yukon. Viewers of Sportsnet ONE, outside of BC/Yukon will see alternate programming in their area. This format is no different than what Sportsnet was doing before, in that some programming ran Nationally (across all 4 of their Regions), and programming reverted to Region specific when required (NHL games).
